According to the latest mobile news consumers are increasingly relying on them for everything from navigation, entertainment and shopping to just staying connected. In order to facilitates these smartphones have a diverse range of apps for available in different category. These helps you in accessing our favorite news source in the manner of our choosing. According to the latest technology news we may see that while the future of mobile apps look great, things might be a bit shady in terms of the mobile phones. Mobile apps have grown exponentially with the dramatic increase in smartphone usage. People in the UAE are spending more time on smartphones and less on computers. Worldwide, in terms of mobile application popularity, games and social networking are the most popular pastime, rating much higher than news and entertainment. For example Microsoft’s Windows Phone platform is apparently growing in popularity among mobile app developers. The software giant’s Windows Phone Marketplace now hosts more than 40,000 apps and games from more than 10,000 different publishers.
Lets see how the mobile manufacturers are fairing in the market. Nokia is now a troubled Finnish handset-maker and its main objective is to achieve the comeback with the help of its new smartphones. The success of the devices, to be launched this month, may decide its fate. Nokia’s troubles are not unique. Two other formerly high-flying mobile-phone makers HTC, a Taiwanese firm, and Research in Motion (RIM), the Canadian maker of BlackBerry devices are also not in good shape. All have seen sharp falls in their market shares and share prices in the past year. Technology news has always been echoing the view that the making mobile phones has always been an cruel, fast-paced business. Consumers and network operators, also turn their backs if the new models are not up to the mark. That is what HTC is facing through, which rose from darkness in the late 2000s. More importantly, today’s smartphone business is less about specific devices than about providing ecosystems, which is a combination of hardware, operating system and applications. This is where Nokia and RIM have lost out. Their ecosystems have been sidelined by Apple’s iPhone and by Android, an operating system composed by Google. These two platforms have attracted most developers, investors and users.
Nokia is also relying heavily on Microsoft’s new Windows software. The two firms have been collaborating closely to strengthen Windows Phone 8’s credentials as a third viable ecosystem, on the sideline of Apple’s launch of the iPhone 5. Samsung, despite the huge success it has had selling devices that run on Android, this week also launched some new models that run on Microsoft Windows 8. As the smartphone are fighting for their long-term survival, they can also draw comfort from the fact that sometimes there are second jobs too in the lives of tech firms. Apple itself rose again to become the most valuable company on record.
